Item description from seller

Map. Copper plate engraving with original hand-colored outline. Image measures 18 1/4" x 12 5/8" This map depicts Rensselaer County in New York State, hand-colored by town. The map denotes major routes, rivers and creeks, and other topographical details. Features the cities of Albany, Troy, and parts of the Erie and Champlain Canals. Flouring mills, saw mills, manufactories and forges are indicated. This first edition of Burr's county map appeared in his "Atlas of the State of New York" of the same year, which was the second atlas of an individual state ever published. The map is in very good condition. Some foxing. Full original margins. David H. Burr (1803-1875) served as Topographer to the United States Post Office and Geographer to the House of Representatives and was widely known for his accuracy and attention to detail. His "Universal Atlas" was the first to map each of the United States individually. This map is a lovely rendering of a hard-to-find county in New York State.
